Zusammenfassung:An authentication system (10, 110) including a package (12, 112) that includes a container (18, 118), an ultraviolet (UV) protector (22, 122b) carried by the container, and a UV light responder (24, 124) carried by the container so that at least a portion thereof is protected by the protector from premature exposure to UV light. After removal of the UV light protector, the UV light responder is responsive to a predetermined schedule of UV light exposure so as to change in visual appearance within a predetermined time. The predetermined schedule may include a predetermined wavelength of UV light applied in a predetermined amount and over a predetermined application time. A related apparatus and authentication method are also disclosed.
